1100 this morning we were doing well under Bertha with a very respectable 7kt downwind.  Unfortunately its pretty uncomfortablesince the sea is a bit confused - in fact,it was all night as well.  At 1600 yesterday we hoisted the Parasailor and off we went! A new record for us of 15kt was achieved about 3am and it was all getting a bit too exciting so we took it down in an attempt to get some sleep.  I'm just considering putting it back up but waiting for the wind to moderate just a bit.  Beef stew for dinner tonight and fresh bread in the machine already!! Yum
 
We saw a boat in the middle of the night - quite close but he didn't want to chat on the radio :(  There's another one off the port bow as we speak - may even be the same one as he does not speak either!!
